Question: Is there ever a responsibility to use contraception?
Position‹2 of 2: No, we do not have a responsibility to use contraception

This position holds that there is no responsibility to use contraception. It argues that nature should be allowed to take its course — that we may choose to intervene but are under no obligation to — and notes that contraception is in some sense unnatural and never wholly reliable anyway.

Contraception is unnatural
Although people should be given the choice, we do not have a responsibility to provide couples with contraception because it still involves the deliberate extermination of a human being's life, which is unnatural to the process of reproduction. The most natural and humane choice is to allow the baby to live.
All methods of contraception have a failure rate
Every main contraceptive method has a fairly high failure rate, so it is irresponsible to view it as a responsibility to use contraception. It is potentially dangerous to encourage people to use these methods if they cannot fully prevent unwanted pregnancies.
